Hmmmm, I have three questions.
My grrrls are about four months old, they free range all day and I have been adding layer mix together with their crumbles. But the latter is medicated so should I stop with that? They, too, don't eat much feed as it's summer and there's plenty for them to eat plus kitchen scraps.
What is the difference between Layer Pellets--my is a grain mix--and scratch?
What is a slug of ACV and what's it for?
Thanks so much,
Renee in WA
